Have you ever received an unsolicited dick pic? If you said yes, you're not alone.

Millions of women and men all over the world are being sent pictures of someone's junk every day and despite many of us saying we don't want to receive them, men continue to send them.

TRANSCRIPT:
Hey I’m Taylah Strano with the latest from The Quicky newsroom for Friday, May 8.

A pair of Islamic State-linked women accused of crimes against humanity are behind bars but plan to make bail applications after they were arrested on return to Australia.

The 53-year-old and a 31-year-old faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday morning charged with several crimes against humanity offences allegedly committed in Syria.

They landed back in Melbourne on Thursday evening as part of a larger group of women and children who lived in a Syrian refugee camp.

In a packed courtroom, the women appeared separately. They were both remanded in custody until Monday, when they will apply for bail.

Day five of hearings at the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion has continued with eight witnesses providing evidence in Sydney.

This marks the first block of public hearings, focusing on the definition and nature of antisemitism, its impact on people’s lives, and how it’s measured.

Twenty-two-year-old Mia Kline described feeling the need to “de-Jew” herself as part of her statement describing an interaction with her housemates that ultimately led to her moving out. She said she stopped referring to Jewish engagements in conversation and removed a Star of David necklace to avoid antisemitism.

Meantime, another person, who identified as not being Jewish and appeared anonymously, described criticism she incurred after writing and sharing social media posts surrounding the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.

New research shows Australia’s food and grocery sector is strained amid rising costs.

The Australian Food and Grocery Council is warning a perfect storm of global conflict, surging energy costs and domestic economic pressures is forcing an unavoidable reckoning for the nation’s food and grocery suppliers and manufacturers.

AFGC Director of Stakeholders, Engagement and Policy Scott McGrath says some of the household staples we rely on could become more expensive or harder to access if suppliers, manufacturers and retailers continue to shoulder the brunt of rising costs.

People may not realize, but oil and energy underpin almost everything, and it's not just transport that relies on it.

Packaging, manufacturing processes such as refrigeration, crucial for food freshness, and shipping are all affected when prices rise globally.

Even everyday items like nappies rely heavily on components like plastic packaging, which is tied to oil.

Australia’s most prestigious portrait prize has just been awarded to Richard Lewer.

The Archibald Prize, which includes a $100,000 cash award, goes to the Melbourne-based artist for his portrait of Pitjantjatjara elder and senior artist Iluwanti Ken.

Former foreign minister Julie Bishop has resigned as chancellor of one of the nation’s most prestigious universities.

Previously one of the Liberal government’s most senior ministers, Ms Bishop’s tenure at Australian National University was marred by months of turmoil, including job cuts, bullying allegations and disputes between staff and university management.

A contentious cost-cutting proposal, which would have made hundreds of staff forcibly redundant, was abandoned when Vice-Chancellor Genevieve Bell quit her post in late 2025.

Coalition parties have conceded holding onto the seat of Farrer will be a tall order ahead of the crucial by-election.

Voters will head to the polls on Saturday to replace former opposition leader Sussan Ley following her resignation.

The electorate has been held by Coalition parties since the seat’s creation in 1949, but the contest is looming with a showdown between One Nation’s David Farley and independent Michelle Millthorpe.

And singer Bonnie Tyler has reportedly been put into an induced coma following emergency intestinal surgery.

The 74-year-old was said to be recovering after she was rushed to hospital near her home in Portugal for emergency intestinal surgery, but doctors have now reportedly placed her in a coma to assist her recovery.

A spokesperson for the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer has asked for privacy at this difficult time.

That’s your latest news headlines.

On Monday’s episode of The Quicky, we’ll have an update on everything you need to know as more hantavirus cases crop up across the globe.

Listen to The Quicky wherever you get your podcasts.
